Amici - For the past two years there's been a yellow sticky attached to the
wall at eye level that I see every time that I sit at my desk, it says
"Kastner Cup - Road America - Elkhart Lake - Sept. 04-08, 2013, Leave 0600
Sept. 01" 

This is a very condensed version of the trip of a derelict primrose ( yes
Bobby, I call it puke yellow for similar reasons that you do) yellow 1959
TR3A rescued from a barn in New Mexico to a participant in the Kastner Cup.
This is also a story of a trip that many of you have been on or are
currently on. Every Triumph on the grid for that race has a similar story -
one based on blood, sweat, tears, persistence, dedication, commitment to
history and tradition, the odd bit of colorful language and above all
laughter. And help from your friends.

I call Barney (my family named it and it has kinda stuck) the FOT Triumph
because every single aspect of the build process has been based on advice,
help, and direction from this group. Right from the getgo Barney had to
serve and number of functions which dictated the overall direction of the
build process - he had to be competent enough to participate in a Kastner
Cup race but he also had to be able to take my girl (long suffering wife of
45 years) out on a date. As of today he has accomplished both goals.

Joe Alexander introduced me to FOT and I need to thank my friend for that.

The build process took me through Kas' four books, Uncle Jack's engine
building tips, Tony Drews advice on rear end ratios, gearbox selection and
the do's and don'ts of surviving Road America, Dave Hogue's pictures of how
to setup and plumb in an oil cooler, etc.

Barney showed up at Road America with exactly 45 minutes of run time for a
shake down with same amount of time for the driver in an open car where your
elbows are barely a foot off the pavement. Gees that took some getting use
to..

As a testament to the quality of the advice that went into the build
process, Barney ran 4 half hour sessions on Thursday, 2 half hour practice
sessions on Friday, a qualifying session and 2 races on Saturday, one wet,
and 2 races on Sunday. And a trip into Elkhart Lake for the re-enactment of
the 1950's race. The wheels were off Thursday night to do a complete bolt
and brake check and other than fluid checks, wheel nut torques and tire
pressure checks it was a race experience that one can only dream of. Barney
turned a best lap of 3:14.

Road America - Impressions of a western Canadian prairie boy who's previous
definition of an elevation change was an 8 degree banked turn. 14 turns over
4 miles where all the hype coming in was how to handle, or more
appropriately, how not to handle the kink. Well from my humble seat the
following characteristics of the race course more than got my attention -
the downhill braking into turn 3 which turned out to be a decreasing radius
turn on exit, braking from over 100 mph for downhill entry into Turn 5, the
blind uphill under bridge acute left entry for the Turn 6, the 4th gear
right hand turn 7- my personal goal for the weekend was to be able to take
the turn flat in 4th (never made it), another fast downhill heavy braking
entry to the acute left hand turn 8, followed by the carousel which actually
a sweeping downhill 180 deg, turn followed by the kink and a very high speed
( for me over 100 mph) heavy braking entry to Canada Corner. From a
grassroots racers perspective what a challenge and what an absolute euphoric
experience when you  get it right. It is my sincere hope that all racers get
a chance to experience it.

Visions that I will remember:

-        20+ Triumphs all under one roof;

-        At any one time over the 4 days half of them up on jack stands with
parts and bodies lying all over the place;

-        Everybody helping everybody;

-        Sharing a garage stall with Ken Knight - as a total package, well
done man;

-        The infectiousness of Mike and Becky Moore;

-        Chuck Arnold to see a smile on his face at the end of a weekend
from hell;

-        Chris Marx gently telling me, after a particularly challenging
practice session - use the whole road you've paid for it;

-        The center 2 stalls of the garage plum full of cases of wine;

-        My friend Bryan Kemper perched on the roll bar, clutching the dash
handle, ball cap on backwards as we blasted down the old road course around
Elkhart Lake at 60 mph;

-        Joe Alexander walking towards me when we arrived on Wed. pm with 2
weber heat shields and a huge hug;

-        Starting 18th on the grid for the Kastner Cup.

For the gear heads here's what's in Barney:

-        89 mm Wiecso pistons, LA liners, h-beam rods, stock nitirded crank,
270 deg. Cam, roller rockers with alloy pedestals,10:1 compression, 45 DCOE
webers, aluminum 3 row rad with electric fan;

-        Complete TR6 front end, alloy hubs, adjustable heim jointed upper
a-arms, 16P calipers, slotted and drilled rotors, Porterfield R4-1 pads,
Wilwood 600 brake fluid;

-        TR6 J-type overdrive transmission, Redline MTL

-        Southwick axel conversion, 4.11 rear gears, Quaife LSD, finned
aluminum rear drums;

-        Pretty much stock....

Thanks for the memories Amici.

Barry.

Absolutely, excellent and bravo!=20

You did it dude! Tremendous accomplishment !=20

It was very nice to spend some time and conversation with you and Bryan at =
breakfast. Thanks for mentioning my assistance during your build. Anything =
I can do to help.=20

Soon to be living beyond my vicarious Triumph racing experiences.=20

Amici =E2=80=93 For the past two years there=E2=80=99s been a yellow sticky=
 attached to the wall at eye level that I see every time that I sit at my d=
esk, it says =E2=80=9CKastner Cup =E2=80=93 Road America =E2=80=93 Elkhart =
Lake =E2=80=93 Sept. 04-08, 2013, Leave 0600 Sept. 01=E2=80=9D=20

This is a very condensed version of the trip of a derelict primrose ( yes B=
obby, I call it puke yellow for similar reasons that you do) yellow 1959 TR=
3A rescued from a barn in New Mexico to a participant in the Kastner Cup. T=
his is also a story of a trip that many of you have been on or are currentl=
y on. Every Triumph on the grid for that race has a similar story =E2=80=93=
 one based on blood, sweat, tears, persistence, dedication, commitment to h=
istory and tradition, the odd bit of colorful language and above all laught=
er. And help from your friends.=20

I call Barney (my family named it and it has kinda stuck) the FOT Triumph b=
ecause every single aspect of the build process has been based on advice, h=
elp, and direction from this group. Right from the getgo Barney had to serv=
e and number of functions which dictated the overall direction of the build=
 process =E2=80=93 he had to be competent enough to participate in a Kastne=
r Cup race but he also had to be able to take my girl (long suffering wife =
of 45 years) out on a date. As of today he has accomplished both goals.=20

Joe Alexander introduced me to FOT and I need to thank my friend for that.=
=20

The build process took me through Kas=E2=80=99 four books, Uncle Jack=E2=80=
=99s engine building tips, Tony Drews advice on rear end ratios, gearbox se=
lection and the do=E2=80=99s and don=E2=80=99ts of surviving Road America, =
Dave Hogue=E2=80=99s pictures of how to setup and plumb in an oil cooler, e=
tc.=20

Barney showed up at Road America with exactly 45 minutes of run time for a =
shake down with same amount of time for the driver in an open car where you=
r elbows are barely a foot off the pavement. Gees that took some getting us=
e to=E2=80=A6.=20

As a testament to the quality of the advice that went into the build proces=
s, Barney ran 4 half hour sessions on Thursday, 2 half hour practice sessio=
ns on Friday, a qualifying session and 2 races on Saturday, one wet, and 2 =
races on Sunday. And a trip into Elkhart Lake for the re-enactment of the 1=
950=E2=80=99s race. The wheels were off Thursday night to do a complete bol=
t and brake check and other than fluid checks, wheel nut torques and tire p=
ressure checks it was a race experience that one can only dream of. Barney =
turned a best lap of 3:14.=20

Road America =E2=80=93 Impressions of a western Canadian prairie boy who=E2=
=80=99s previous definition of an elevation change was an 8 degree banked t=
urn. 14 turns over 4 miles where all the hype coming in was how to handle, =
or more appropriately, how not to handle the kink. Well from my humble seat=
 the following characteristics of the race course more than got my attentio=
n - the downhill braking into turn 3 which turned out to be a decreasing ra=
dius turn on exit, braking from over 100 mph for downhill entry into Turn 5=
, the blind uphill under bridge acute left entry for the Turn 6, the 4 th g=
ear right hand turn 7- my personal goal for the weekend was to be able to t=
ake the turn flat in 4 th (never made it), another fast downhill heavy brak=
ing entry to the acute left hand turn 8, followed by the carousel which act=
ually a sweeping downhill 180 deg, turn followed by the kink and a very hig=
h speed ( for me over 100 mph) heavy braking entry to Canada Corner. From a=
 grassroots racers perspective what a challenge and what an absolute euphor=
ic experience when you get it right. It is my sincere hope that all racers =
get a chance to experience it.=20

Visions that I will remember:=20

- 20+ Triumphs all under one roof;=20

- At any one time over the 4 days half of them up on jack stands with parts=
 and bodies lying all over the place;=20

- Everybody helping everybody;=20

- Sharing a garage stall with Ken Knight =E2=80=93 as a total package, well=
 done man;=20

- The infectiousness of Mike and Becky Moore;=20

- Chuck Arnold to see a smile on his face at the end of a weekend from hell=
;=20

- Chris Marx gently telling me, after a particularly challenging practice s=
ession =E2=80=93 use the whole road you=E2=80=99ve paid for it;=20

- The center 2 stalls of the garage plum full of cases of wine;=20

- My friend Bryan Kemper perched on the roll bar, clutching the dash handle=
, ball cap on backwards as we blasted down the old road course around Elkha=
rt Lake at 60 mph;=20

- Joe Alexander walking towards me when we arrived on Wed. pm with 2 weber =
heat shields and a huge hug;=20

- Starting 18 th on the grid for the Kastner Cup.=20

For the gear heads here=E2=80=99s what=E2=80=99s in Barney:=20

- 89 mm Wiecso pistons, LA liners, h-beam rods, stock nitirded crank, 270 d=
eg. Cam, roller rockers with alloy pedestals,10:1 compression, 45 DCOE webe=
rs, aluminum 3 row rad with electric fan;=20

- Complete TR6 front end, alloy hubs, adjustable heim jointed upper a-arms,=
 16P calipers, slotted and drilled rotors, Porterfield R4-1 pads, Wilwood 6=
00 brake fluid;=20

- TR6 J-type overdrive transmission, Redline MTL=20

- Southwick axel conversion, 4.11 rear gears, Quaife LSD, finned aluminum r=
ear drums;=20

- Pretty much stock=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6..=20

Thanks for the memories Amici.=20
